Buying a sectional couch Bed

Sofa beds are multifunctional furniture that can be used in a variety of ways. Interior designer Annie Mueller recommends this budget-friendly twin sleeper from Pottery Barn’s teens collection. The sofa’s seat cushion can be unfolded to create a foam mattress of 10″ on the floor.

Comfort

When you are buying a sofa bed, comfort is key. Many sleeper sofas have thin mattresses that leave users feeling like they’re on a frame with a platform instead of in a bed. To avoid this issue, you can add padding to the mattress of your sofa bed by purchasing a mattress topper such as the Linenspa Memory Foam one available on Amazon. This will prevent your guests from waking with back pain or metal frames squeaking or creaking.

A chaise extension allows guests to stretch out and unwind more comfortably. Selecting the most appropriate fabric and color for your sofa bed is also important, since it will determine how well the furniture will blend into the rest of your space. Request free fabric swatches to take them to test in your home to find the ideal fabric for your needs.

Style

A modular couch bed can be found in a variety of designs. Sleeper sofas are the most comfortable couch popular because they incorporate an upholstered mattress and bed frame within their structure. They are more comfortable to sleep on than air mattresses or traditional pull-out couches, and they provide a more consistent feel to the mattress.

This kind of sofa offers the benefit of storage space as you can tuck the bedding away when not being used.

Durability

When looking for a sofa bed, you want one that will be sturdy enough to withstand the demands of daily use. You should look for solid construction features like solid wood frames as well as reinforced seams and padded armrests that won’t flatten over time. You’ll also need a sturdy fabric that’s easy to clean and able to be able to handle spills and stains. Request fabric swatches prior to you buy if you are unsure of the right fabric.

Its mattress is 10 inches thick when laid flat and is made of CentriPur foam, which is designed to keep you cool. It is also latex-free, which reduces allergy concerns. I found it extremely comfortable to sleep on. The only downside was that changing it back into a couch required a bit of effort (it’s not as easy to convert as an air mattress).

Stores

If you are limited in space, a sofa bed with built-in storage could be an ideal solution. This type of couch features a hidden compartment where you can keep pillows and bedding, allowing you to fold the bed down easily when guests arrive. This multifunctional furniture is available in a variety of upholstery fabrics and can be used with most standard mattresses.

Storing the Couch to allow air flow

Avoid stacking boxes on the couch when you’re storing them. This could cause damage to the cushions and frame, as well as leave behind moisture that could result in mold and mildew. It is also important to keep the couch at a reasonable distance from the wall in your self storage unit to allow airflow.

It’s also important to thoroughly clean the sofa before placing it in storage. This means vacuuming the fabric and wiping down the non-fabric areas as well as the sofa feet. This can help minimize the chance of mildew and mold growth even when you’re not using it as well as make sure the fabric is protected from pests looking for a snack.
